They should. There is no excuse: clang has it for free, Visul Studio, too (Express Editions, since 2013). Also, for Open Source projects Coverity is free.

That's amazing. Doing the first step in assembly instead of C is quite overkill, in my opinion, but the whole thing is impressive. Kudos.

Thank you. I'm glad that got fixed! (I dealt with that stuff more than 10 years ago) :-)

Interviews requiring genius-level capabilities for doing boring daily trivial stuff. Quite deceptive. There is a rush in SAT and automated tests (e.g. hackerrank) stuff that is getting crazy. Anyway, no matter how good you do in SAT/pr

Linux approach is very fast, and convenient for most cases. The only regret I have (had) is that working in that way, it brings some problems like different behavior on signal() versus most POSIX implementations (e.g. signal handlers on a

Thank you for the consideration. Although the library targets safe and cross-platform code, I don't recommend you using libsrt on production code, yet. Rationale: the API is not yet finished, and it could have some changes that could b

Yes, Kore don't use libsrt, although you could use it in your Kore user-modules (not all services are going to be trivial operations). And I agree, C strings is far from being a solved problem. In the case of libsrt strings, in additio

Writing high level C applications can be easy, if you use a library that frees you from using dynamic memory on typical data structures (e.g. strings, vectors, sorted binary trees, maps). I'm developing a C library for high-level C cod

I agree with you. Usually "agile" is used just as a religion: a mix of wishful thinking plus a way of pushing developers "because of the agile rules".

Very well explained. I hope next parts will address screen scrolling, sprite animation, and "raster effects".

Ubuntu and Fedora. Not because being the "bests", but because having better hardware support (from my point of view).

Issuing up to 8 instructions per clock (3 in order, 5 OoO) is single-thread serious performance. It looks like is going to be much better than the NVidia Denver CPU (also 8 instruction/cycle, but all of them in-order). It will be scar

I tried to build it (Ubuntu 14.04), but fails (OCaml 4.01.0) after calling make: File "types.mli", line 11, characters 14-15: Error: Syntax error make: * [types.cmi] Error 2

Thank you for the feedback. Which application do you need? (I could add it as example for the library)

Hey, check the red black tree top-down implementation, it is beautiful. Great stuff from Julienne Walker.

Well, in VS 2013 there was C99 language support, i.e. my C99 code compiled properly (while not in previous VS editions). I had to add minor modifications because the C library (e.g. %zu for printing size_t arguments -not sure if already cov

Since MS Visual Studio 2013, VS supports C99. It looks like MS wanted to "deprecate" the C language. They seem to acknowledge their mistake in an implicit way, in my opinion.
